Here is a tribal/frontier style camp knife/chopping knife with rawhide bolster wrap (epoxy soaked) and redwood burl scales for handle. This was up for sale before but it is now sheathed. The redwood burl is very unusual with lots of surface features. It's also tough as nails. 12.5" total length, 1/8" thick blade with distal taper. Steel is Aldo 1075 and is heavily antiqued for a tough and stain resistant finish. This will make an excellent knife for camp chores and general woodcraft.
The sheath is rawhide and veg tanned leather with home-braintan tassels bearing rabbit bones and some nickel silver beads. The loop is kept with a rabbit leg bone. This rabbit was killed by a hawk in my backwoods. This sheath is heavily and entirely inspired by my friend John Cohea's work and is the result of the handling of many of his fine sheaths.
This is available for $200 (plus shipping and handling) as a package.
For more pictures.. please check out my blog:

I can also email other images, etc.
My work is guaranteed for life as long as I'm still alive and that the blade was used in a manner consistent with proper use. I will allow a full refund (minus shipping) within 7 days if you are not happy with the purchase and the knife is the same condition in which it was shipped.
